Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest

Unlock the power of typography in your book design projects with our two part series, Beyond the Font, where we'll move past simply choosing a font and delve into the essential elements that create a professional, readable, and engaging book.

Typography is so much more than just choosing a font you like from a dropdown menu. It's a blend of art and science that deeply impacts readability, sets the tone for the entire book, establishes professionalism, and ultimately shapes the reader's experience. 

In this first of two parts, we journey through the essential aspects of book typography by covering the foundations for readable type:

  • Why Typography Matters
  • The Anatomy of Type
  • Shaping Space for Readability

In our next session in this series, we’ll discuss the craft of choosing your fonts and how to actually apply these typographic principals into your own work.

Whether you're an author formatting your own work or a designer seeking to refine your skills, this session will equip you with the foundational knowledge and practical tips needed to handle typography with confidence and elevate the overall quality of your books.
